billions of dollars of aid from the united states, number one. number two where is the united states in the international community providing support to the international relief fund organization such as the red cross to provide the relief necessary. i said in my last article in the "huffington post," i'm not in favor of boots on the ground, but we could certainly provide angels in the air. we could provide for humanitarian support. this is where i'm most unhappy about the obama administration's failure on syria. it's bad enough that it does not have a policy to deal with the strategic issues, but why can't we do more on the humanitarian side? >> eliot: the failure to act, do you think we'll lose them as it were, and will they turn elsewhere for support and say you know what, united states, you talked a good game but you didn't show up when we needed you and we'll find our finds elsewherefriendselsewhere. >> it's not speculation. it's a fact. the syrian army came out and publicly criticized the administration for promising to deliver non-lethal a

there is a growing but shadowy anti-muslim network in the united states and in europe that actively promoting the fear of muslims in our society. they're good at it. they make a lot of money at it. it contributes to the way that, unfortunately, many americans view muslims. >> eliot: do you feel that this concerted effort -- i'll take as a premise of this question even though you would have to prove the point to me, if this group exists, is it fundamentally different than other groups that existed opinions about catholics or jews or any other religious group that was new to the united states or that from which people felt a threat in some form? >> certainly, you know, we've sign this type of fearmongerring before. we saw it with catholics. we saw it with jews. we saw it with communists even. the reason that people are making the claim that michele bachmann's anti-muslim witch-hunt in congress harks back to the day of joseph mccarthy because we've experienced the bouts of hate before. the real difference though today is that there is an active network of individuals that use tools like the inte

your focus has been perhaps elsewhere in the world, but there is a raging debate here in the united states and your country as well about the glass ceiling and whether women can have it all. the article saying essentially you can't all at once. maybe over time. where do you come out on this? >> i have a great respect for emery slaughter whom i know. i always say you have got to look at this in the context of a career span which is 40 or 50 years, and i think there are times when you can't have it all in the sense that you can't go full out on your career and full out on bringing up young children. >> eliot: right. >> but that span is such a small part of a lifetime's career. but i do say that women can have it all spaced out over that career, and what we need to do to change the whole dynamic is try to stop making it so women have to make once and for all choices, particularly around the time when they want to have children and bring up their families. too often now we allow women to fall out of the job market and we don't give them ways back in. >> eliot: right. >> and we don't acknowledg

this is why the president of the united states does not want to draw that line. we don't think they're going to cross that. and if they do, we'll see them doing it. we'll see them changing the centrifuges. we'll see them enriching to bonds grade. >> eliot: the quality of our intelligence because we're trying to discern motive on their part. do they intend to actually take what is some volume of enriched uranium, threshold we don't precisely know and go to the next step and of course that's why all of the centrifuges and the effort to close them down. we're trying to presume and infer from their behavior what their intent is. >> we also see what they're doing. so the reason that prime minister netanyahu has these precise quantities and is making this precise prediction is because there are u.n. inspectors at the facilities, measuring what goes in, measuring what goes out. if they were to take that uranium out of those facilities, we would see them doing it. if they were to reconfigure the centrifuges because you have to be real careful when you start making weapon
